Typical

The Martian

Been reflecting on my excitement yesterday, watching The Oxford Murders and thinking, At last! a film that gets it both ways, suspense and substance, issues of Ethics and Epistemology, gripping and unrelenting -- and so afterwards I check it out on the net to discover it's a great bomb that everybody hated. Or, everybody in America hated. It was in English but produced jointly by several foreign countries, I'm not sure how it played overseas. Better, I suspect. But this is just so typical, so illustrative of how different my tastes are from mainstream America. Why I feel like a Martian so often.
